With staff shortages, how are the volunteer programs being affected? What is their future?
RESPONSE:Mandatory programs within TDCJ that utilize volunteers are not affected by the staff shortages. Due to the fact that some units are experiencing greater shortages than others, some non-mandatory programs have been scaled back. This does not mean that the program is being done away with. As the staffing issues are addressed by administration the programs will increase in availability. The staff shortages have encouraged PSD administration to look at the roles of volunteers and how to better utilize them to continue offering the best offender programming.
